DIY Home: Quote Frames for only $1

We are in a massive, but fun, redecoration in our home! Aside from buying some fabulous new furniture (we have a really exciting bar cart coming up!), we want to fill our home with a lot of fun and personal touches. 

We're sure you know by now that we love quotes! Quotes on clothes, quotes on mugs, quotes of pillows! Words are so powerful and we love being reminded of our favorite quotes in little ways as we go about our day. This is a really easy DIY that adds a beautiful touch to any room or wall and which will bring a smile to your face whenever you see it. And the best part? It only costs $1! 

Supplies:
8 x 10'' picture frames (ours were from the dollar store!)
White acrylic paint (and whatever other colors you want your frames to be)
Foam brushes
Ribbon
Hot glue gun and sticks
Your favorite quote and a printer

Steps: 
1. Take the back cardboard and glass out of the frame
2. Paint the frame with two coats of white paint (make sure you let it dry between coats)
3. Paint the frame with 1 or 2 coats of the color you want
4. While the paint is drying, type up and print your quote(s). 
5. Slide the quote into the frame and trim the edges
6. Glue the ribbon in a loop on the top of your frame
7. Display and enjoy!
